SYSTEM TO CONTROL RAIL VEHICLE AND DETERMINE ITS POSITION ON TRACK Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC B61L25/04 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: proposed system comprises two eddy current transducers to detect irregularities of the track connected to inputs of the unit designed to calculate mutual correlation of signals generated by reference signal senders. Output of said unit is connected via scaling unit with first input of track element identification unit with its second input connected to first output of memory unit. Second output of memory unit is connected with second input of computing unit with its first input connected to output of track element identification unit. Proposed system comprises additionally the receiver of identifying code signals connected via decoder with third input of computing unit with its output connected with rail vehicle control unit. Input of the receiver of identifying code signals is electromagnetically coupled with electric track circuits, each comprising track transmitter of identifying code signal and track occupancy/unoccupancy and serviceability control unit.

EFFECT: higher train-handling capacity at failures in accurate detection of train position.
